I am using the stock speakers from the Shaker 500. I had them connected to the W200 and the 8's in the doors still on the factory AMPs for about a week. It sounded better than stock but still very much like crap. I really wanted to use the Apline Media Manager because I have to have an EQL and I am sick of adjusting EQLs in the truck. This thing is incredible and the DD5.1 and DTS are a nice bonus. If you have an Alpine head unit it is a must have!! It made the stock speakers come alive. The difference is night and day. They sound like low to mid range components now. I hooked the six speakers in the cabin up to the JL A 6450. My bass is provided by the 10W6v2 on JL slash 500.1.

Nice choice, i got the same unit for my g/f's tc, it looks real sleek almost like stock and has a lot of kool features.... I only wish the navigation didnt cost soo much
